Drew Stanton Danced And Carson Palmer Told The Crowd To Suck It

This was how the West was lost.

Indeed, it appears that most of the magic in the NFC West has shifted over to the Cardinals. “Not well enough to win”.

“Unbelievable”, Carroll said. “I don’t know how football works this way”. “A very hard loss to take. We did it to ourselves, to a great extent”.

To an epic extent, in fact. They were flagged for 14 penalties that added up to 131 yards, while Arizona committed nine penalties for 71 yards.

Seattle responded after halftime, controlling most of the third quarter and getting the break it needed on the second play of the fourth quarter.

The game took on a different feel than last season’s 19-3 loss to Seattle. See the Cardinals’ go-ahead drive late in the fourth quarter, when Palmer didn’t flinch despite being forced into fumbles on the previous two possessions.

“Is it the end of the world?”

“They had been double blitzing us up the middle pretty much the whole fourth quarter”.

With his offensive line continuing to malfunction around him, Wilson threw for 240 yards.

Lockette was in the Seattle locker room after the game and said it was “amazing” to be back with his team even if his season is over. He got sacked twice.

Carroll said the team’s “Tell the Truth” Monday also will include a little pep talk. I thought we had him one-on-one a couple other times, but we didn’t throw it to him. It was Seattle’s second touchdown in less than 2 minutes and the second coming off a fumble by Palmer. Moreover, it gave the Cardinals a lead they would never relinquish, 32-29, with 8:41 to go. CenturyLink Field was shaking.

Cousins didn’t have a touchdown toss of more than 7 yards until he got to go up against the Saints’ porous and poor-tackling defense.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Carson Palmer could be fined for a crotch-chop caught on camera near the end of Sunday’s game against the Seahawks, according to ProFootballTalk.

The Arizona defense got the ball back for the offense, and then Andre Ellington dashed 48 yards for another TD. Ellington’s 48-yard TD run down the left sideline past a Seahawks blitz then safety Kam Chancellor on third and 4 was the clinching play. – Stephen Gostkowski kicked a 54-yard field goal with 1 second remaining to keep New England unbeaten.

Quarterback Russell Wilson hit wide receiver Doug Baldwin (seven catches, 134 yards) for a 32-yard touchdown pass with 4:52 left in the third quarter to cut Arizona’s lead to 25-17, and Seattle’s defense took it from there.

With the defense practically producing two touchdowns by its lonesome, questions need to be asked of a Seattle offense that is far from the yardage-churning machine it’s been in recent years. Avril sped in off right end unblocked in a miscommunication by Arizona’s blockers. On the next drive, late in the fourth quarter, the Cardinals finally got the running game going.

Palmer finished 29-of-48 for 363 yards with three touchdowns and an interception in the 39-32 victory. Wilson’s 2-point conversion pass was incomplete and Seattle trailed 25-23 with 14:44 left.

At 7-2, Arizona has a firm grasp on the second seed in the NFC, behind the 9-0 Carolina Panthers. In all five of those instances the Seahawks went three-and-out following the penalties, and Seattle didn’t score a single point in those five drives. There is no Ryan Lindley in sight for Arizona to boost Seattle this season.

Just when everyone around the country was watching, intrigued by a team that has been building over the last few seasons, Andy Dalton’s typical prime time self showed up again.

“Very similar”, Arians said. They used to be impossible to beat at home.
